[Note. —  Pictures  marked  A  are  in  Allston  Room.] 

BEECHEY  (Sir  William),  R.A.  1753-1839. 

Born  in  Burford  in  Oxfordshire,  England.  He  began  the 
study  of  law,  but  later  took  a  fancy  to  study  art,  and  finally 
so  distinguished  himself  that  he  was  made  portrait  painter 
to  Queen  Charlotte  and  instructor  to  the  princesses.  "  All 
London  flocked  to  his  studio."  He  at  one  time  attempted 
fancy  subjects,  as  the  "  Morning  Star"  and  "Evening  Star," 
but  later  devoted  himself  to  painting  portraits.  His  work  is 
noted  for  its  freshness  of  color  and  truth  to  nature. 

9     Portrait  of  Mrs.  Ashley. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Robert  C.  Vose. 

CARLSEN  (Emil).  Contemporary. 

Born  in  Denmark,  and  came  to  America  in  1872,  and  is  best 
known  as  a  painter  of  still-life. 

33  Still-Life. 

Lent  by  Mrs.  Charles  F.  Lyman. 

CAZIN  (Jean  Charles).  1841. 

Born  at  Samer,  Pas-de-Calais,  France.  "  Like  the  artists 
of  the  Renaissance,  Cazin  can  express  himself  by  the  most 
various  means, —  sculpture,  oil  painting,  water  colors,  pastel, 
...  to  say  nothing  of  his  ceramic  work."  "  He  gives  us 
the  impression  of  a  thoughtful,  serious,  and  yet  hopeful 
nature.  .  .  .  He  paints  men  that  he  has  seen,  trees  that  really 
grow,  skies  that  he  has  not  invented,  and  reeds  whose  sad 
music  he  has  overheard.  ...  It  is  by  the  exact  and  sympa- 
thetically emotional  rendering  of  effects  of  light,  that  M. 
Cazin  invariably  develops  and  enforces  his  theme." 

A I     La  Vielle  Route. 

Lent  by  Miss  Annette  P.  Rogers.

CHIFFLART. 

"  This  artist,  contemporary  with  Delacroix,  was  a  great  color- 
ist  of  fame.  His  pictures  are  very  rare,  and  but  few  of  his 
works  ever  came  to  America." 

76     Nymphs  crowning  the  Statue  of  Pan. 
78     The  Revelry  of  the  Satyrs. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Charles  A.  Walker. 

CLOUET  (FRAN901S).    About  1 500-1 573. 

Born  at  Tours,  France.  He  succeeded  his  father  as  Court 
painter  to  Francis  I.  in  1541,  and  held  the  same  office  under 
Henri  II.  and  Charles  IX.  His  works  include  a  portrait  of 
the  Dauphin  Fran9ois  at  Antwerp  (1524),  a  full-length  por- 
trait of  Henri  II.  at  the  Louvre,  and  a  portrait  of  Elizabeth 
of  Austria,  also  in  the  Louvre. 

70     Portrait  of  King  Edward  VI.  of  England. 

From  the  collection  of  the  Due  de  Sforza,  Rome. 

Lent  by  Mons.  E.  Gimpel,  care  of  Messrs.  Dowdeswell  & 

Dowdeswell,  275  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York. 

CONSTABLE  (John),  R.A.  1776-1837. 

Born  in  Suffolk,  England.  He  was  a  painter  of  landscape 
and  a  very  independent  thinker.  His  work  had  a  strong 
influence  upon  French  landscape  painting.  His  friend  and 
biographer,  Leslie,  predicted  for  him  "the  praise  of  having 
been  the  most  genuine  painter  of  English  landscapes  that  has 
ever  lived." 

10    Weymouth  Bay,  England. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Justice  Loring. 

COPLEY  (John  Singleton),  R.A.  1735-1815. 

Born  in  Boston,  Mass.  He  was  seventeen  years  old  when 
he  fairly  embarked  in  the  profession  of  painting.    He  painted 

[10] 


both  portraits  and  historical  subjects,  but  his  talents  lay  dis- 
tinctly in  the  direction  of  portraiture.  "  The  want  of  ease 
and  nature  in  these  time-hallowed  portraits  is,  indeed,  as 
authentic  as  their  costumes.  .  .  .  There  is  that  about  them 
which  precludes  the  very  idea  of  taking  a  liberty."  In  1776 
Copley  moved  to  London,  where  his  reputation  had  already 
secured  for  him  a  cordial  reception,  and  he  was  soon  made 
a  member  of  the  Royal  Academy. 

7 1     Portrait  of  himself. 

Painted  prior  to  the  Revolution. 

Exhibited  by  the  St.  Botolph  Club  in  1901  and  at  Copley 
Hall  in  1898. 

Lent  by  Mr.  G.  G.  Hammond. 
32     Portrait  of  Lord  Lyndhurst.  (?) 

Painted  in  England. 

Lent  by  Messrs.  Dowdeswell  &  Dowdeswell,  275  Fifth 
Avenue. 

7     Portrait  of  Col.  Joseph  Scott. 

Exhibited  at  the  Boston  Athenaeum  about  1869  or  1870. 
Lent  by  Mr.  George  Scott  Winslow. 

79     Portrait  of  Hon.  Jonathan  Jackson. 

Lent  by  Miss  M.  C.  Jackson. 

COROT  (Jean  Baptiste  Camille).  1796-1875. 

Born  in  Paris.  While  he  did  not  by  any  means  confine  him- 
self to  landscape  painting,  Corot  is  most  widely  known  by  his 
landscapes.  The  silvery  tones  of  early  dawn  and  the  mystery 
of  twilight  had  a  special  charm  for  him.  He  was  essentially 
a  poet,  "  striving  with  material  substances  to  convey  the  im- 
pression made  on  a  poetic  mind  by  the  aspects  of  nature."

50  En  Provence. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Robert  C.  Vose. 

COURBET  (Gustave).    18 19-1877. 

Born  at  Ornans,  France.  He  is  the  strongest,  the  truest, 
and  most  satisfying  of  the  realists.  His  best  works  were  his 
landscapes.  In  seeing  them,  one  is  sure  that  this  painter 
had  a  sentiment  and  love  of  the  beautiful  in  nature,  and  that 
he  did  himself  violence  when  he  affected  the  ugly  only." 

61     La  Curee. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Henry  Sayles. 

DAUBIGNY  (Charles  FRAN901S).  1817-1878. 

Born  at  Paris,  France.  Daubigny  was  a  landscape  painter  and 
an  officer  of  the  Legion  of  Honor.  "  The  art  of  this  illustrious 
painter  consists  of  choosing  well  a  bit  of  country,  and  painting 
it  as  it  is,  enclosing  in  its  frame  all  the  simple  and  naive  poetry 
which  it  contains."  "  For  a  certain  massiveness  of  handling, 
and  justness  in  rendering  the  values,  he  stands  alone." 

75  Landscape. 

Lent  by  Mrs.  Barthold  Schlesinger. 

[12] 


DAVID  (Jacques  Louis).  1748-1825. 

Born  at  Paris,  France.  David  was  a  diligent  student  of  the 
antique, —  as  a  reaction  from  the  affectations  of  Vanloo  and 
Boucher.  He  became  a  favorite  painter  of  the  Emperor 
Napoleon,  and  his  principal  works  have  reference  to  Napo- 
leon's eventful  career. 

73     Le  Girondist. 

Lent  by  Mrs.  A.  C.  Wheelwright. 

DEGAS  (Hilaire-Germain  Edgar). 

Born  in  Paris  in  1834.  He  painted  portraits  for  a  time,  but 
was  induced  by  Manet's  example  to  devote  himself  to 
modern  life, —  to  "  grace  in  motion,  to  scenes  from  the  race- 
course and  the  theatre."  Again,  through  the  influence  of 
Japanese  art,  he  became  a  decorative  painter.  He  is  distin- 
guished by  the  science  and  precision  of  his  drawing,  especially 
with  pastel,  which  enables  him  to  get  an  exquisite  and  har- 
monious color  effect,  as  well  as  great  perfection  of  drawing. 

87     Foyer  de  la  Danse. 

Painted  between  1878  and  1880,  his  best  period. 
Exhibited  at  the  St.  Botolph  Club  in  1901. 
Lent  by  Mr.  G.  G.  Hammond. 

DIAZ  DE  LA  PENA  (Narcisse  Virgile).    i 807-1 876. 

Born  at  Bordeaux,  France.  Chevalier  of  the  Legion  of 
Honor.  "The  versatile,  unequalled,  impetuous  Diaz,  a 
brilliant  colorist  by  blood,  so  much  so  as  to  obscure  design,  but 
charming  in  his  ^^'wr^'-landscape  motives,  in  which  he  intro- 
duced little  children,  lovely  women,  or  classical  nymphs,  .  .  . 
whatever  best  affords  him  scope  for  his  rich  flesh  tints,  in 
contrast  with  magnificently  colored  draperies,  on  the  deep 
greens  and  browns  of  vegetation." 

72  Landscape. 

Lent  by  Mr.  J.  Montgomery  Sears. 

[13] 


ENGELBRECHTSEN  (Cornelis).  1468-1533. 

Born  at  Leyden,  Holland.  He  was  a  painter  of  religious 
subjects. 

35     Le  Crucifiement. 

Lent  by  Messrs.  Durand-Ruel,  389  Fifth  Avenue,  New 
York. 

FROMENTIN  (Eugene).  1820-1876. 

Born  at  La  Rochelle,  France.  A  painter  of  landscape  and 
especially  of  the  East.  "He  transfers  Arab  life,  wild  and 
picturesque,  to  his  canvas.  We  enjoy  the  freedom  of  the 
desert,  and  rejoice  at  escaping  the  confinement  and  artifice  of 
the  studio." 

2     Halt  on  the  Edge  of  the  Desert. 

Exhibited  at  the  Paris  Exposition  Universelle  in  1878. 
Lent  by  Mr.  Eben  D.  Jordan. 

FROTHINGHAM  (James). 

A  portrait  painter  of  some  eminence  in  New  York,  Boston, 
and  Salem  about  1800.  He  has  been  called  "the  Stuart  of 
Salem.''  Of  him  Stuart  said,  "  There  is  no  one  in  Boston 
but  myself  can  paint  as  good  a  head." 

5     Portrait  of  Colonel  Timothy  Pickering. 

Lent  by  Dr.  Charles  P.  Putnam. 


FYT  (Jan).  .  1601-1661. 

Born  at  Antwerp.  He  was,  after  Snyders,  the  greatest  animal 
painter  of  the  Flemish  School,  excelling  in  sunny  effects  of 
light.  "  He  renders  the  fur  of  animals  and  the  plumage  of 
birds  with  exquisite  truth." 

63     Game  Piece, 

From  Sir  F.  W.  Burton's  Collection. 
Lent  by  Mrs.  F.  G.  Macomber. 

[14] 


HARPIGNIES  (Henri). 

Born  at  Valenciennes,  France,  in  1819.  He  is  a  painter  of 
landscape,  both  in  oils  and  water  colors.  A  number  of  his 
works  are  in  the  gallery  of  the  Luxembourg.  "  Harpignies  is 
always  the  poet." 

12     Paysage:  Coucher  de  Soleil.

HONDECOETER  (Melchior  de).  1636-1695. 

Born  at  Utrecht,  Holland.  He  entered  the  Guild  of  The 
Hague  in  1659.  He  painted  poultry  and  other  birds,  usually 
representing  them  alive.  "  His  subjects  are  generally  ar- 
ranged with  a  most  picturesque  feeHng.  .  .  .  The  animals  are 
true  to  nature,  well  drawn  and  carefully." 

64  Victory.

HOOGH  (Pieter  de). 

The  only  information  to  be  had  about  Pieter  de  Hoogh  is 
derived  from  the  dates  that  are  found  on  his  pictures, —  1656- 
1670.     He  was  evidently  a  follower  of  Rembrandt.  He 

[>5] 


painted  genre  pictures,  and  may  be  considered  far  excellence 
the  painter  of  full  and  clear  sunlight.  "  His  prevailing  local 
color  is  red,  repeated  with  great  delicacy  in  various  planes  of 
distance/'

HOPPNER  (John),  R.A.  1758-1810. 

Although  essentially  a  portrait  painter,  Hoppner  also  excelled 
in  landscape  painting.  His  style  was  formed  somewhat  on 
that  of  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds. 

19     Portrait  of  Richard  Cosway,  the  Painter. 

Lent  by  Mr.  W.  B.  Thomas. 

HUNT  (William  Morris).  1824-1879. 

Born  at  Brattleboro,  Vt.  He  was  a  portrait,  landscape,  and 
decorative  painter,  and  a  pupil  of  Couture  and  Millet.  "  The 
genius  of  Hunt  is  eminently  creative.  .  .  .  Whether  dealing 
with  the  animated  expression  of  real  life,  or  the  naive  phases 
of  nature,  or  the  simple  expression  of  character,  there  is  a  true 
grace  and  power  in  his  work  that  instantly  reveals  an  original 
artistic  genius." 

53  Landscape. 

Lent  by  Mr.  H.  L.  Higginson. 

ISRAELS  (Josef). 

Born  at  Groningen,  Belgium,  in  1824.  Israels  is  a  genre 
painter,  especially  of  the  more  pathetic  incidents  in  the  life  of 
a  seafaring  people.  His  figures  are  "  immersed  in  atmos- 
phere, emerging  gradually  from  the  elusive  dimness  of  back- 
ground." His  work  is  characterized  by  "  tender,  whole- 
some sentiment,  and  exquisitely  subtle  color."

career  as  a  portrait  painter.    He  was  especially  fortunate  in  his

portraits  of  women  and  in  his  groups  of  mothers  and  children. 
Nevertheless,  his  portraits  of  the  Emperor  Francis,  of  Pius 
VII.,  and  of  the  Cardinal  Gonzalvi  are  considered  to  rank 
among  the  greatest  masterpieces  of  art.  William  Etty,  his

she  painted  the  first  of  her  twenty-five  portraits  of  Marie 
Antoinette.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Revolution  she  went  to 
Italy,  and  thence  to  Vienna  and  St.  Petersburg,  where  she  re-

MAAS  (NicoLAAs).  1632-1693. 

Born  at  Dordrecht,  Holland.  A  painter  of  simple  genre 
subjects.  His  pictures  are  rare,  and  much  prized.  "  The  na- 
ivete and  homeliness  of  his  feeling,  with  the  addition,  some- 
times, of  a  touch  of  humor,  the  admirable  and  generally 
striking  lighting,  the  deep  and  very  warm  (seldom  cool) 
harmony,  and  a  touch  resembling  Rembrandt  in  impasto  and 
vigor, —  all  these  qualities  render  his  pictures  very  attractive."

ous churches,  and  also  designed  three  subjects  for  the  pave- 
ment of  the  cathedral  of  Siena.  "  His  expressions  are  solemn

Born  at  Zaandam,  Holland.  A  landscape  painter.  "  His 
draughtsmanship  is  sound,  his  brush  work  full  of  gusto  and 
expression,  his  color  quite  his  own.  To  a  right  sense  of 
nature  and  a  mastery  of  certain  atmospheric  effects  he-  united 

[■9] 


a  genuine  strain  of  poetry.  .  .  .  His  treatment  of  animals  is  at 
once  judicious  and  affectionate."

Born  at  Gruchy,  near  Cherbourg,  France.  Millet's  boyhood 
was  spent  in  working  on  his  father's  farm,  but  he  was  finally 
enabled  to  study  art  at  Cherbourg  and  later  at  Paris.  For  a 
time  he  hesitated  between  historical  and  genre  painting,  decid- 
ing at  last  to  paint  that  which  he  knew  and  loved  so  well,  the 
inward  poetry  of  the  fields  and  peasant  life.  "  The  sun  of 
Millet  is  an  earnest  sun,  which  ripens  the  grain."

Impressionistic  School.  "  A  great  artist,  with  a  profound 
knowledge  of  ways  and  means,  he  endeavors  to  render  the 
purest  poetry  of  nature,  her  most  exquisite  and  most  elusive 
aspects,  with  the  brush.  .  .  .  He  has  gone  further  in  his  analy- 
sis of  color,  of  light,  of  atmosphere,  than  any  other  member 
of  the  Impressionistic  School."

execution.

"  the  Cornish  wonder.''  He  painted  portraits  and  historical 
subjects,  and  was  also  lecturer  at  the  Royal  Academy.    "  His 

[22] 


work  is  remarkable  for  vigor  and  truth  rather  than  for  dignity 
and  grace."

Lent  by  Mr.  R.  Hall  McCormick,  New  York. 

ORRENTE  (Pedro).    i6th  century. 

He  was  a  painter  of  religious  subjects,  largely  because  of  the 
age  in  which  he  lived.  He,  however,  took  great  pleasure  in 
painting  animals,  and  was  in  the  habit  of  introducing  animals 
into  his  pictures.

"  His  portraits  of  women  are  especially  brilliant  and  soft  in 
tone  and  color,"  and  his  treatment  of  drapery  is  very  fine. 

He  also  showed  that  enchanting  feeling  for  landscape  which 
seems  the  birthright  of  the  great  Venetian  masters."

REMBRANDT  (Van  Ryn).  1607-1669. 

Born  at  Leyden,  Holland,  and  was  almost  equally  distin- 
guished as  an  etcher  and  a  painter.  His  range  of  subjects  in- 
cluded portrait,  figure,  and  landscape.  Rembrandt  possessed 
a  wonderful  technical  skill  and  a  great  regard  for  style  and 
arrangement,  as  well  as  a  strong  feeling  for  the  truthful  and 
picturesque.  This  latter  quality  showed  itself  in  its  marvel- 
lous effects  of  light  and  shade,  which  gave  to  his  work  the 
fascinating  "  sense  of  the  mysterious."  His  pictures  attract 
by  the  warmth  and  clearness  of  color,  the  kind  of  "  enclosed 
radiance  "  which  is  theirs  alone.

Lent  by  Mr.  F.  R.  Sears,  Jr. 

REYNOLDS  (Sir  Joshua),  P.R.A.    i  723-1792. 

Born  in  Devonshire,  England.  A  man  of  education  and 
refinement,  and  of  great  independence  of  thought,  he  broke 
through  the  conventionalities  of  the  Enghsh  School  of  Art, 
"  seizing  every  new  action  and  expression  that  nature  offered 
him."    In  1768  the  Royal  Academy  was  founded,  with  Sir 

[24] 


Joshua  as  its  first  President.  His  work  is  graceful,  and 
charming  in  color  and  effects  of  light  and  shade.

ROMANO  (GiuLio).  1499-1546. 

Born  at  Rome,  Italy.  Giulio  Romano  died  when  only  twenty- 
seven  years  old,  having  already  painted  extensive  works  in 
fresco,  and  many  admirable  oil  paintings,  to  justify  his  fame 
as  the  principal  of  all  Raphael's  scholars.  "  He  was  an  artist 
of  vigorous,  daring  spirit,  gifted  with  the  freedom  of  hand 
which  gave  life  and  animation  to  the  bold  and  restless  crea- 
tions of  his  fancy."

ROUSSEAU  (Pierre  Etienne  Theodore).  1812-1867. 

Born  at  Paris,  France.  He  was  one  of  the  most  distin- 
guished founders  of  the  modern  French  school  of  landscape 
painting.  For  many  years  his  pictures  were  refused  at  the 
Salon ;  but  in  1831  he  exhibited  "  A  View  in  Auvergne,"  and 
from  1 831-1836  he  led  the  revolt  against  formalism.  He 
was  perhaps  the  most  vigorous  and  dramatic  of  the  Impres- 
sionist group.

Lent  by  Mr.  Robert  C.  Vose. 

RUBENS  (Peter  Paul),    i 579-1640. 

Born  at  Siegen,  Westphalia,  Germany.  Of  Rubens,  Sir 
Joshua  Reynolds  says,  "  He  was  perhaps  the  greatest  master 
in  the  mechanical  part  of  the  art,  the  best  workman  with  his 
tools  that  ever  exercised  a  pencil."  He  possessed  '^a  truth- 
ful and  intense  feeling  for  nature,  a  warm  transparent  coloring, 
and  a  wealth  of  fire  of  imagination,  which  embraced  every 
object  capable  of  representation,"  historical  and  sacred  sub- 
jects, portraits  and  landscapes.  His  pupils  were  numerous 
and  able,  some  of  whom  he  employed  to  assist  him  in  his 
work, —  among  them  Van  Dyck,  Jordaens,  and  Snyders.

spent  in  Europe,  and  he  has  finally  established  himself  in  Lon- 
don, "  since  which  there  has  been  no  break  in  a  progress  which 

[  26  ]

STEEN  (Jan).    About  1626-1679. 

Born  at  Leyden,  Holland.  A  genre  p^inttr.  "JanSteenis 
indubitably,  after  Rembrandt,  the  most  genial  painter  of  the 
whole  Dutch  School."  His  abundant  feeling  for  invention, 
in  which  he  far  surpasses  all  other  genre  painters  of  the 
school,  gives  expression  to  .  .  .  boundless  high  spirits  and  fun  ; 
while  in  every  other  quality,  composition,  keeping,  coloring, 
impasto,  spirited  yet  careful  touch,  he  yields,  when  he  puts 
forth  his  whole  strength,  to  none  of  them."

San  Marco.  Of  these  the  "  Miracle  of  St.  Mark,"  now  in  the 
Academy  of  Venice,  is  probably  the  best  known.  St.  Mark 
is  represented  as  miraculously  rescuing  a  slave  from  torture.

TURNER  (Joseph  Mallord  William),  R.A.  1775-1857. 

Born  in  Covent  Garden,  London.  In  his  fifteenth  year 
he  was  admitted  to  the  Royal  Academy  as  a  student,  and 
exhibited  there  the  year  following,  becoming  an  Associate 
Member  in  1800  and  an  Academician  in  1802.  In  1807 
he  became  a  professor  in  the  Royal  Academy,  and  began 
his  drawings  for  the  "  Liber  Studiorum."  Turner  was  chiefly 
a  Water-color  painter  in  early  life ;  .  .  .  and  the  contrast  of 
style  between  his  early  and  later  work  is  remarkable,  the 
latter  distinguished  for  its  excessive  looseness  of  execution, 
the  former  for  its  elaborate  finish,  and,  compared  with  his 
ordinary  work,  for  a  coldness  of  color.  ...  In  middle  life  he 
adopted  a  much  freer  mode  of  execution  and  a  greatly  richer 
style  of  coloring.  His  finest  works  belong  to  this  middle 
period.  He  left  his  large  fortune  to  found  an  institution  for 
indigent  artists,  and  his  pictures  to  the  nation.  The  Na- 
tional Gallery  thus  possesses  about  one  hundred  of  his 
finished  pictures.

VAN  DYCK(SiR  Anthony).  1599-1641. 

Born  at  Antwerp,  Belgium.  He  was  best  known  as  a  por-

engaged  him  as  his  assistant.  After  some  years  of  travel  in 
Italy,  Van  Dyck  returned  to  Antwerp  in  1626,  where  in  the 
next  six  years  not  only  his  finest  historical  works  were  pro- 
duced, but  also  a  series  of  magnificent  portraits.  He  later 
became  Court  painter  to  Charles  I.  of  England,  who  also 
knighted  him.

HE  production  of  this  type  of  piano- 
forte is  the  latest  achievement  in  the 
piano  world.  Both  the  instrument 
and  its  title  are  original  with  Chick- 
ering  &  Sons.  It  has  had  many- 
tentative  and  unsuccessful  imitators 
and  now  holds  its  peculiar  place  alone.  It  is  the 
smallest  Grand  Pianoforte  embodying  modern  princi- 
ples ever  made. 

We  invite  critical  inspection  of  this  instrument 
at  our   warerooms,  791   Tremont  Street.
